1. Gaertnera phanerophlebia Baker View in CoL

Gaertnera phanerophlebia Baker (1885) View in CoL 425. — Type: Baron 2982 (syntype K, isosyntypes BM, P [June 1889 (purchased)]), Madagascar, Dec. 1883 (received) ; Baron 2372 (syntype K; isosyntype P), Central Madagascar, Dec. 1883 (received) .

Mussaenda gerrardi [sic] Homolle (1938) 4. — Bremeria gerrardii (Homolle) Razafim. & Alejandro View in CoL in Alejandro et al. (2005) 555, syn. nov. — Type: Gerrard 37 (holo K), Madagascar.

Notes — Examination of type material shows that B. gerrardii View in CoL represents Gaertnera phanerophlebia View in CoL , an observation confirmed by recent study of Gaertnera ( Malcomber & Taylor 2009) View in CoL . Bremeria View in CoL and Gaertnera View in CoL are not closely related, the former belonging to tribe Mussaendeae ( Alejandro et al. 2005) , and the latter to tribe Gaertnereae ( Bremer & Manen 2000, Robbrecht & Manen 2006, Razafimandimbison et al. 2008). Another one of the six Mussaenda species described by Homolle (1938) should also not be transferred to Bremeria View in CoL , viz. M. crinita View in CoL , which has since been shown to belong to Bertiera ( Wittle & Davis 2010) View in CoL . Bertiera View in CoL is not closely related to tribe Mussaendeae , but instead belongs to tribe Bertiereae ( Bridson & Verdcourt 2003, Davis et al. 2007).
